UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
irgamzmum*
Three courses of study are open to members of the
University :
I. The Classical Course, extending through four years ;
at the expiration of which time, those who have satisfactorily
met the requirements of the Faculty are admitted to the degree
of Bachelor of Arts.
II. The Scientific Course, extending through four years,
and embracing no Greek, and only so much Latin as is essential
to the successful prosecution of the Modern Languages and the
mastery of scientific terminology. In the place of Greek and
Latin, a more extended course of study is prescribed in Physical
Science, Mathematics, History, and the Modern Languages.
Those who satisfactorily complete this course, are admitted to
the degree of Bachelor of Science.
III. The Eclectic Course, designed for students who may
desire to attend the recitations of particular departments, with-
out becoming candidates for degrees. Such students are
admitted, provided they have the requisite preparation for the
studies of those departments, and become subject to the laws
of the University. This arrangement is designed to meet the
wants of those whose age, or circumstances, may prevent them
from pursuing either of the regular courses, but who are desirous
of obtaining the liberal culture which the studies of a portion of
the course will give them. Special care is taken to give such
persons the instruction which they require.
b 17
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
REQUIREMENTS FOR, ADMISSION.
Candidates for admission to the University are expected to
furnish satisfactory testimonials respecting character ; and, if
from other colleges, certificates of regular dismission.
No person will be admitted to the Freshman Class who
has not completed his fourteenth year, or to an advanced
standing without a corresponding advance in age.
The Monday and Tuesday before Commencement, and the
Wednesday before the opening of the following term, are the
regular times for examining candidates. Examinations may
take place at other times at the discretion of the Faculty.
FOR THE CLASSICAL COURSE.
Swinton's Progressive English Grammar; Guyot's Common
School Geography ; Swinton's Condensed History of the United
States ; Robinson's Arithmetic ; Robinson's University Algebra
— to Quadratic Equations ; Robinson's Geometry — three books ;
Harkness's, or Allen and Greenough's, Latin Grammar ; Four
books of Caesar's Commentaries ; Four Orations of Cicero — of
which one shall be that for the Poet Archias, and one, that for
the Manilian Law ; Six books of Virgil's ^Eneid ; and 39
sections in Arnold's Latin Prose Composition ; Hadley's, or
Crosby's, Greek Grammar ; Three books of Xenophon's Anabasis,
and one book of Homer's Iliad.
FOR THE SCIENTIFIC COURSE.
The same as for the Classical Course, with the exception of
the requirements in Greek.
FOR THE ECLECTIC COURSE.
Sufficient preparation to profit by the instruction given to any
existing class.
18
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
A fair equivalent for the above requirements will, of course,
be accepted, but candidates for admission are acfvised to con-
form, literally, to the requirements of the catalogue. Upon
their examination for entrance, and in their subsequent
instruction, it will be taken for granted that they have
done so.
Persons who wish to pursue studies in this city or vicinity,
preparatory to admission to the University, will find ample
facilities for doing so, under the advice and direction of the
Faculty.
Any student who may be admitted to the University under
conditions; as also any student who, after admission, may have
shown himself deficient in any department of study, will be
required to make up his deficiencies under a private tutor, who
shall be selected by the Faculty. All existing deficiencies of
this nature will be noted in the catalogue.

general Wttw nf| % ^ttrri^ttltttit.
One who desires to understand the work which the University
attempts to perform, may be referred to the tabular statements,
already given, of the courses of study which are prescribed for
students. It seems appropriate, however, that special attention
be called to some ieatures in the several departments of
instruction.
THE DEPARTMENT OF METAPHYSICS.
Intellectual and Moral Philosophy are taught mainly by
lectures. Propositions embodying an outline of these subjects,
with a condensed discussion of each, are dictated to the class.
Copious illustrations of the topics are then given, with full
opportunities for questions and discussion on the part of the
class, until the doctrine set forth is completely understood. The
design of the course is to fix convictions in the student's mind
regarding the reality, certainty and limits of human knowledge,
and show that man has a moral and intellectual constitution,
existing in the germ, before the processes of thought and action
begin.
In furtherance of these objects, recourse is constantly had to
the history of thought on the topics discussed, with a view to set
forth the gradual progress, through the ages, toward delinite and
scientific conceptions of man's nature. Care is taken to put over
against each truth taught, its antagonistic error ; and, also, to
select illustrations of these subjects from common life, so that
.J 29
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
the student, in acquiring a knowledge of the mental and moral
constitution of man, shall be, at the same time, gaining that
practical knowledge of men which shall conduce to his success in
the business, or profession, to which he looks forward.
THE CLASSICAL DEPARTMENT
Aims, by the careful reading of the Greek and Latin classics,
and by assiduous practice in writing Greek and Latin prose, to
give the student such familiarity with the classical tongues, as
shall unlock to him the treasure-house of ancient thought and
feeling ; and, at the same time, lit him to acquire a more
complete mastery of those modern languages which are so largely
derived from a classical source. The Classics are studied not in
a spirit of blind veneration for antiquity ; but as illustrating the
universal laws7 of language, as presenting the most perfect
specimens ol merely literary composition, and as laying open the
sources from which have been derived invaluable elements in
modern civilization. Special attention is given, on the one hand,
to the historic development and the most important speculative
results of Greek Philosophy; and, on the other, to the growth,
the general principles, and the permanent influence of lioman
Jurisprudence. The classics are further utilized by making
them supplement other courses of study — Longinus, Plato and
Cicero being read in connection with instruction in lihetoric
and Mental and Moral Philosophy.
THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY.
Although the Faculty of Instruction embraces no officer who
is distinctively charged with the care of this department, an
ample course of historical studies is provided for the student.
Instruction is given in Greek and Roman History in connection
30
UNIVERSLTY OF ROCHESTER.
with the Classical Department. Mediaeval History is taught
in weekly lectures which cover three entire terms. The
study of the English Language and Literature is necessarily
approached from an ethnologic and historic point of view. In
the Senior year an entire term is devoted to the study of History
— lectures being given on Physical Geography, Ethnology, and
on a series of fundamental topics which include an outline
survey of the forces, moral and physical, that have resulted in
modern civilization, and in the formation of the state system
of Europe and America. Another term is divided between
Political Economy and the Constitutional Law of England and
the United States.
THE DEPARTMENT OF RHETORIC
Is regarded as an organic whole whose reciprocally dependent
parts are :
1. The Laws of Thought, or Logic.
2. The Laws of Expression, or, in the abstract, Rhetoric^
in the concrete, Literature — both, of course, presupposing, for
the English student, a minute and thorough acquaintance with
the English Language.
3. The Laws of Utterance, or Elocution.
In accordance with this conspectus, the student is taught
from the outset of his college course, to analyze his mental
processes and adapt his words to his thoughts, his tones and
gestures to his words. Particular attention is paid to the study
of the English Language in its origin and development, and
in its use by such writers as Chaucer, Shakspeare, Bacon and
Milton — whose works are studied with the same care as those of
Horace, Sophocles, Plato and Homer.
In connection with this department, orations are pronounced
before the University, by students in the third term of the
31
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
Junior, and the first and second terms of the Senior year — each
student being required to prepare and deliver at least one
oration in each term.
During the Freshman year, there is a regular weekly exercise
in Phonetic Analysis, Phonography and Elocution. Members ot
the Junior and Sophomore classes are required to present
original essays or oral dissertations twice, at least, in each term.
These essays are freely used for class-room illustration of
Rhetorical excellences and defects.
THE DEPARTMENT OF MODERN LANGUAGES
Embraces a course of at least two terms in French and two
in German for every student who is a candidate for a degree.
While the philological study of these languages is held
constantly in mind, such colloquial drill is given as may
prepare the student for using them' in the business of life.
THE DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS.
During the first two years of the College Course, the classes
have a continuous drill in Pure Mathematics, beginning with the
generalizations of Higher Algebra, and closing with the Calculus.
Then follow Mathematics as applied to Natural Philosophy and
Astronomy. While the disciplinary exercises of the student are
necessarily abstract, it is the design of the officers in charge of
this department to show, by lectures and illustrations, that the
formulas of Mathematics are the keys of natural phenomena,
and that they underlie the practical arts of life. It is further
believed that Mathematics, like Politics, are best learned in
their historical development. The discovery and history of
formulas are, therefore, made the frequent theme of class-room
conversations.
32
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
THE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL SCIENCE.
In the Department of Natural Science, instruction is given by-
Lectures. Zoology and Physiology are studied by the Senior
Class during the first term. An outline of the general principles
of Zoology, embracing the characteristics and methods of classi-
fication of the animal kingdom, is followed by a more special
study of Human Physiology and Anatomy, with constant
reference to the structure and functions of the inferior animals,
seeking thus, by making it a study of comparisons and analogies,
to develope the existence of a comprehensive plan in organic
nature. Constant attention is given, in this department, to
the principles of Hygiene.
During the first term, a course of lectures is given to the
Junior Class on Chemical Physics, followed, during the second
term, by a course of daily lectures on General Chemistry.
The properties of the elementary bodies, and their more
important combinations, are fully illustrated by experiments in
the lecture room. Special attention is given to the economic
and industrial applications of Chemical science. Frequent
opportunities are afforded for visiting the various manufacturing
establishments of the city, in which Chemical processes are
practically applied.
During the third term, a course of daily lectures is given to
the Senior Class on Geology, illustrated by Guyot's wall-maps
and the extensive Lithological, Mineralogical and Palseontological
Collections of the Cabinet, representing all the explored portions
of the earth's crust.
ANALYTICAL LABORATORY.
To supplement the instruction given to undergraduates in
General Chemistry, a Laboratory has been provided and
c 33
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
furnished with the requisite apparatus, for the use of those who
may wish to pursue a more extended course of theoretical and
practical Chemistry, by conducting their own experiments and
investigations, under the direction of the Professor.
Special students will be admitted to the Laboratory for
instruction in the theory and practice of Chemical Analysis,
qualitative and quantitative, the application of Chemistry to
Agriculture, Pharmacy, the Mechanic Arts, etc. For further
particulars respecting this department, application may be made
to the Professor of Chemistry.
MORAL AND RELIGIOUS CULTURE.
It is the aim of the Faculty, in connection with the discipline
of the intellect, to inculcate a pure morality, and the great
truths and duties of Christianity. The public duties of each day
are opened at 9 o'clock a. m., with reading of the Scriptures and
prayer, in the University Chapel. The students are required
to attend, unless specially excused by the Faculty.
In the Greek Department there is a weekly recitation in
the Greek New Testament.
Weekly prayer meetings are held under the auspices of the
Young Men's Christian Association, in a room, centrally situated,
which the Trustees have provided for that purpose ; and, by
each class, at the close of the Saturday morning recitation.
Parents and guardians are requested to designate places of
worship, at which their sons, or wards, are expected regularly to
attend on the Sabbath.

GEOLOGY AND MINERALOGY.
These Cabinets, containing over 40,000 carefully selected
specimens, are an encyclopaedia of the sciences which they
illustrate. They were collected by Professor Ward, during six
years of extensive foreign travel, and during many careful visits
to a large number of the most fruitful American localities.
Having been compiled, from the first, upon a plan which
contemplates the most complete illustration of every point in
these two departments of inorganic nature, it is believed that
they offer opportunities to students of these sciences, unsurpassed
in the country.
The Cabinet of Geology commences with a collection of over
3,000 rocks, arranged in orders and families, in explanation of
the science of Lithology. Every rock species, as recognized by
the latest authors, is contained in this series ; and all points of
interest in technical or economic Geology are amply illustrated.
Another series of rocks presents those which are, to some
extent, characteristic of the several Geological formations.
Other series are Geographical in their character, and show the
student the mineral composition of some typical Geological
region.
The Lithological section of the Cabinet also contains a
valuable series of rocks, collected by Prof. James Orton,
illustrative of the Geology of the Andes.
The collections of Fossils are from the standard localities
in Europe and America, and represent the animal and vegetable
35
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
life which covered the surface of our planet during each of the
great Geologic periods.
A prominent feature of the Cabinet is, that it contains plaster
copies, perfect in form and dimensions, of all the well-known
genera of fossil quadrupeds.
A section of the Geological Cabinet embraces a series of
models, maps, sections, ideal landscapes, and cuts of fossils,
intended to illustrate the lectures which are given upon these
subjects.
The Cabinet of Minerals is equally rich and comprehensive.
It begins with several extensive series of specimens intended
to illustrate the subjects of Crystallography, and the physical
properties of minerals, and contains about 5,000 choice specimens,
representing four-fifths of all the species known.
CABINET OF ARCHEOLOGY.
The foundation has been laid for an Archaeological Cabinet,
by the purchase of a small, but well-authenticated collection of
flint and bronze implements from the drift region of Abbeville
and St. Acheul, in France. To this cabinet some specimens of
the stone implements of the American Indians have been
added ; and it has also been enriched by a very choice collection
of stone implements from the vicinity of Copenhagen — the
genuineness of which is attested by the most eminent Danish
archaeologists. Contributions to this cabinet are respectfully
requested.
LIBRARY.
The Library of the University is open daily, from 8 to 9 a. m.,
and on Saturday, from 10:15 to 12 a. m., for consultation and for
the drawing of books. All the students have free access to the
Library, and are aided in consulting it by the Librarian and
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
other members of the Faculty. Especial pains is taken by
card-catalogues and indexes of periodical and miscellaneous
literature, (all of which are brought down to date, and open
to every student,) to make the contents of the Library
practically available.
THE RATHBONE LIBRARY FUND,
The gift of Gen. John F. Rathbone, of Albany, amounts to
twenty-five thousand dollars, the interest on which is appro-
priated to the increase of the Library. In the purchase of books,
the preference is given to those works which are demanded by
the officers and students for the successful prosecution of their
inquiries in the various departments of study.
RECITATIONS AND EXAMINATIONS.
The recitations are held from 9:15 a. m. to 12:15, each class
having three daily exercises of one hour. The number, or
length, of these exercises may be increased at the discretion of
the Faculty. On Saturday, the classes attend in the lecture-
room but one hour; and that, rather for instruction than for
recitation.
Examinations are conducted by a combination of written
and oral exercises ; and in the presence of a Committee of the
Faculty. Students pursuing an Eclectic Course are required
to pass the examinations of the departments with which they
connect themselves. No student is admitted to examination
whose absences, during the term, exceed a certain per-centage.
Examinations are held, on each study, at the close of the term
during which it has been pursued. Examinations for delinquent
students are held on the third Saturday after the beginning, and
the third Saturday before the end, of each term.
37
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
PUBLIC EXERCISES
1. Prize Declamations by the Sophomore Class, on the
Monday evening preceding Commencement.
2. Commencement, on the Wednesday preceding the Fourth
of July.
»♦•
EXPENSES.
The University has no dormitories, being conformed, in this
respect, to the German, rather than the English model. Parents
who send their sons to the University are recommended to
secure for them, during their College course, the influence of a
Christian home, so far as this is practicable. Rooms which
afford ample accommodations for two students, can, however,
be secured, in buildings designed especially for this purpose, for
$1.00 per week. Boarding can be obtained in private families
for from $3.50 to $5.00 per week. The Janitor of the University
will furnish its patrons with all necessary information respecting
rooms and boarding.
•Tuition, per term, including incidentals, $25.00.
The rules established by the Trustees, with reference to the
payment of tuition, require the settlement of all bills at the
beginning of each term y that students in the Eclectic Course
pay full tuition; and that orders for tuition on scholarships be
presented as soon as received. No deduction is made for
absence.
A large number of students find profitable employment in the
city, in teaching private pupils and classes, and in various other
occupations ; thus enabling them to provide in considerable part,
for the expenses of their education. Students who have practical
38
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
acquaintance with any of the useful arts, are able to procure
constant and remunerative employment in the city.
Indigent students for the ministry, regularly approved by
churches, receive assistance from the New York Baptist Union
for Ministerial Education, and, under certain conditions, free
tuition from the University, which has set apart 40 scholarships
for this purpose.
Other indigent students, of good character, are occasionally
assisted from funds at the disposal of the President.
Parents and guardians are earnestly requested to exercise a
careful supervision over their sons, or wards, and to discriminate
between necessary and unnecessary expenses. Experience proves
that nothing has a more unfavorable influence upon a student's
conduct and habits of study, than the unrestrained use of
money.
PREMIUMS, EXTRA STUDIES, ETC.
THE DAVIS PRIZE MEDALS.
The sum of $1,000 has been given to the funds of the
University by the Hon. Isaac Davis, LL. D., of Worcester,
Mass., the annual income of which is, by the direction of the
donor, to be expended in purchasing two gold medals of unequal
value, to be given to the two members of the graduating class
whose orations, on Commencement Day, shall exhibit, respect-
ively, the first and second grades of excellence in thought,
composition and delivery combined.
39
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
THE STODDARD PRIZE MEDAL.
Professor John F. Stoddard — himself a distinguished Mathe-
matical teacher and author — has given to the University the
endowment for a gold medal of the value of one hundred dollars,
which is to be awarded to the student in each graduating class,
(having been three years a member of the University, and
having maintained a good standing in all the studies of the.
curriculum) who shall have passed the best examination on the
Mathematical studies of the entire course, and also on some
special topic to be assigned by the Faculty; provided that such
examination shall have attained to a certain absolute value.
The special topic on which the members of the present Senior
Class will be examined, is : The Mathematical and the
Experimental Considerations in Favor of the Undulatory
Theory of Light.
THE DAVIS SCHOLARSHIP.
A scholars]) ip, yielding $70 a year, for the benefit of some
indigent student, has been founded by the Hon. Isaac Davis,
LL. D. The income of this scholarship is now available under
certain conditions, affecting character and standing, prescribed
by the founder.
THE SHELDON SCHOLARSHIP.
By the liberality of Abraham Sheldon, Esq., of Adams Centre,
free tuition has been provided forever for some student, who
shall be approved by the Faculty as especially worthy of
assistance. An adequate endowment for several similar scholar-
ships has been pledged, and will shortly be available.
THE CITY SCHOLARSHIPS.
In recognition of the interest taken by the citizens of Rochester
in the establishment of the University, twelve scholarships,
40
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
which entitle their holders to free tuition, have been granted
to the City of Rochester by the Board of Trustees. These
scholarships, to the number of three in each class, are awarded
as prizes for excellence in the studies of the Rochester City
Schools, preparatory to college.
SENIOR PRIZE ESSAY.
A premium will be given to the member of each Senior Class
who shall present the best essay upon a subject selected by
the Faculty.
The subject for the present year is : Shakspeare's Indebted-
ness to the Bible.
THE DEWEY PRIZE DECLAMATIONS.
Premiums are given for the best exercises in Declamation, by
members of the Sophomore Class — those students only being
allowed to compete whose standing and deportment are
especially approved by the Faculty. The funds for this
purpose are derived from a bequest by the Rev. Dr. Beadle,
of Philadelphia, a pupil and friend of the late Dr. Dewey.
EXTRA STUDIES WITH PREMIUMS.
Students whose absences do not exceed a certain per-centage,
and whose scholarship in all departments reaches a certain fixed
standard, are permitted to pursue studies additional to the
required curriculum, with a view to competition for premiums.
JUNIOE CLASS.
A premium will be given to the member of the Junior Class
who shall pass the best examination upon some portion of a
Greek author, selected by the Faculty, which shall have been
read in addition to the regular and required course of Greek
studies.
41
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
The examination for the present year will be on The
First, Seventh, Eleventh, Thirteenth and Fifteenth of
the Idylls of Theocritus.
SOPHOMORE CLASS.
A premium will be given to the member of the Sophomore
Class who shall pass the best examination upon some portion of
a Latin author, selected by the Faculty, which shall have been
read in addition to the regular and required course of Latin
studies.
The examination for the present year will be on The Cap-
tives of Plautus.
FRESHMAN CLASS.
A premium will be given to the member of the Freshman Class
who shall pass the best examination in Mathematical studies,
selected by the Faculty, in addition to the regular and required
course of Mathematical studies.
The examination for the present year will be on Olney's
University Algebra — Part Third.
EXTRA STUDIES WITHOUT PREMIUMS.
Students whose absences do not exceed a certain per-centage,
and whose scholarship in all departments is such, that their
attention can be diverted from their regular studies without
detriment, are encouraged to pursue studies additional to the
required curriculum, under the direction of the Faculty, with-
out competition for premiums. The successful prosecution of
such studies — which will be tested by careful examinations— is
distinguished by honorable reference in the annual catalogue of
the University. The intention to study for Honorable Mention,
and the course of study to be pursued, must be approved, in
advance, by the Faculty ; and no Honorable Mention will be
given for studies which are not fairly equivalent, both in quantity
and quality, to a daily recitation for one term in the department
in which the student presents himself for honors.

UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
Three courses of study are open to the members of the
University :
I. The Classical Course, extending through four years ; at
the expiration of which time, those who have satisfactorily met
the requirements of the Faculty are admitted to the degree of
Bachelor of Arts.
II. The Scientific Course, extending through four years —
requiring no Greek, and only so much of Latin as is essential
to the successful prosecution of the Modern Languages and the
masteiy of Scientific Terminology. In the place of Greek and
Latin, a' more extended course of study is prescribed in Physical
Science, Mathematics, Histoiy, and the Modern Languages.
Those who satisfactorily complete this course, are admitted to the
degree of Bachelor of Science.
III. The Eclectic Course, designed for students who may
desire to receive instruction in particular departments, without
becoming candidates for degrees. Such students are admitted,
provided they have the requisite preparation for the studies of
those departments and become subject to the laws of the
University. This arrangement is intended to meet the wants of
those whose age, or circumstances, ma}T prevent them from
pursuing either of the regular courses, but who are desirous of
obtaining the liberal culture which the studies of a portion of the
course will give them. Special care is taken to give such pupils
the instruction which the}T require.
B 17
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION.
Candidates for admission to the University are expected to
furnish satisfactory testimonials respecting character ; and — if
from other colleges — certificates of regular dismission.
No person will be admitted to the Freshman Class who has not
completed his fourteenth year ; or to an advanced standing,
without a corresponding advance in age.
The Monday and Tuesda}' before Commencement and the
Wednesday before the opening of the following term, are the
regular times for examining candidates. Examinations may take
place at other times at the discretion of the Facutty.
The requirements for admission are as follows :
FOR THE CLASSICAL COURSE.
English Grammar and Composition ; Colton's Common School
Geography ; " Swinton's Condensed History of the United States ;
Robinson's Arithmetic; Robinson's Universny^ Algebra — to
Quadratic Equations ; Robinson's Geometry — six books ;
Harkness's, or Allen and Greenough's, Latin Grammar ; Four
books of Caesar's Commentaries ; Four Orations of Cicero — of
which one shall be that for the Poet Archias, and one, that for
the Manilian Law ; Six books of Virgil's iEneid ; and 39 sections
of Arnold's Latin Prose Composition ; Hade's, or Crosb3T's,
Greek Grammar ; Three books of Xenophon's Anabasis, and one
book of Homer's Iliad.
18
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
Notice is given that, after the present 3rear, applicants for
admission to the University, will be examined in Prof. Gilmore's
" Art of Expression."
FOR THE SCIENTIFIC COURSE.
The same as for the Classical Course, with the exception of the
requirements in Greek.
FOR THE ECLECTIC COURSE.
Sufficient preparation to profit by the instruction given to any
existing class.
A fair equivalent for the above requirements will, of course, be
accepted, but candidates for admission are advised to conform,
literally, to the requirements of the catalogue. Upon their exam-
ination for entrance, and in their subsequent instruction, it will be
taken for granted that they have done so.
Those who wish to pursue studies in the city or vicinity,
preparatory to admission to the University, will find ample
facilities for doing so, under the advice and direction of the
Faculty.
An}T student who may be admitted to the University under
conditions ; as, also, any student who, after admission, may have
shown himself deficient in any department of study, will be
required to make up his deficiencies under a private tutor, who
shall be selected by the Faculty. All existing deficiencies of
this nature will be noted in the catalogue.

UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
^iVciicriil illeir of flic rf,itrnciiltm(.
One who desires to understand the work which the University
attempts to perform, may be referred to the tabular statement,
alread}' given, of the courses of study which are prescribed for
students. It seems appropriate, however, that special attention
be called to some features in the several departments of instruction.
THE DEPARTMENT OF METAPHYSICS.
Intellectual and Moral Philosophy are taught mainly by lectures.
Propositions, embodying an outline of these subjects, with a
condensed discussion of each, are dictated to the class. Copious
illustrations of the topics are then given, with full opportunities
for question and discussion on the part of the class, until the
doctrine set forth is completely understood. The design of the
course is to fix convictions in the student's mind regarding the
certainty, and necessary limits, of human knowledge ; and show
that man has a moral and intellectual constitution, existing, in the
germ, before the processes of thought and action begin.
In furtherance of these objects, recourse is constantly had to the
history of thought on the topics discussed, with a view to set forth
the gradual progress in this direction toward definite and scien-
tific conceptions of man's nature. Care is taken to put over
against each truth taught, its antagonistic error ; and also to
select illustrations of these subjects from common life, so that the
student, in acquiring a knowledge of the mental and moral consti-
tution of man, shall be, at the same time, gaining that practical
27
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
knowledge of men which shall conduce to his success in the
business, or profession, which he proposes to enter.
THE CLASSICAL DEPARTMENT
aims, by the careful reading of the Greek and Latin classics, and
by assiduous practice in writing Greek and Latin prose, to give
the student such familiarity with the Classical tongues, as shall
unlock to him the treasure-house of ancient thought and feeling ;
and, at the same time, fit him to acquire a more complete mastery
of those modern languages which are so largely derived from
Classical sources. The Classics are studied not in a spirit of blind
veneration for antiquit}' ; but as illustrating the universal laws of
language, as presenting the most perfect specimens of literaiy
composition, and as laying open the sources from which have
been derived invaluable elements in modern civilization. Special
attention is given, on the one hand, to the historic development
and the most important speculative results of Greek Philosophy ;
and, on the other, to the growth, the general principles, and the
permanent influence of Roman Jurisprudence. The Classics are
further utilized hy making them supplement other courses of study
— Longinus, Plato and Cicero being read in connection with
instruction in Rhetoric and Mental and Moral Philosophy.
THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY.
Although the Faculty of Instruction embraces no officer who is
distinctively charged with the care of this department, an ample
course of historical studies is provided for the student. Instruction
is given in Greek and Roman Histoiy in connection with the
Classical Department. Mediaeval History is taught in weekly
lectures which cover three entire terms. The study of the English
Language and Literature is necessarily approached from an Ethno-
logic and Historic point of view. In every department of instruc-
28
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
tion, indeed, especial attention is given to the origin and develop-
ment of the science taught : so that the methods of Historic
investigation are constantly applied and exemplified. During the
Senior year, an entire term is devoted to the study of History —
lectures being given on Physical Geograplry, Ethnology, and on a
series of fundamental topics which include an outline survey of
the forces, moral and physical, that have resulted in modern
civilization, and in the formation of the state s}'stems of Europe
and America. Another term is divided between Political Economy
and the Constitutional Law of England and the United States.
THE DEPARTMENT OF RHETORIC
is regarded as an organic whole whose reciprocally dependent
parts are :
1 . The Laws of Thought, or Logic.
2. The Laws of Expression, or, in the abstract, Rhetoric; in
the concrete, Literature — both, of course, presupposing, for the
English student, a minute and thorough acquaintance with the
English Language.
3. The Laws of Utterance, or Elocution.
In accordance with this conspectus, the student is taught, from
the very outset of his course, to analyze his mental processes
and adapt his words to his thoughts ; his tones and gestures to his
words. Particular attention is paid to the study of the English
Language in its origin and development, and in its use by such
writers as Chaucer, Shakspere, Bacon and Milton — whose works
are studied with the same care as those of Horace, Sophocles,
Plato and Homer.
In connection with this department, orations are delivered
before the University, by students in the tjiird term of the Junior,
29
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
and the first and second terms of the Senior year — each student
being required to prepare and deliver at least one oration in each
term.
During the Freshman year, there is a regular weekly exercise
in Phonetic Analysis and Elocution. Members of the Junior
and Sophomore classes are required to present original essays.
or oral dissertations, twice, at least, in each term. These essays
are freely used for class-room illustration of Ehetorical excel-
lences and defects.
DEPARTMENT OF MODERN LANGUAGES.
This department embraces a course of at least two terms in
French, and two in German, for every student who is a candidate
for a degree.
While the philological study of these languages is held con-
stantly in mind, such colloquial drill is given as may prepare the
student for using them in the business of life.
THE DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS.
During the first two }*ears of the regular course, the classes
have a continuous drill in Pure Mathematics, beginning with the
generalizations of higher Algebra, and closing with the Calculus.
Then follow Mathematics as applied to Natural Philosoplry and
Astrononry. While the disciplinaiy exercises of the student are
necessarily abstract, it is the design of the officers in charge of
this department to show, b}T lectures and illustrations, that the
formulas of Mathematics are the ke}Ts of natural phenomena, and
that the}7 underlie the practical arts of life. It is further believed
that Mathematics, like Politics, are best studied in their historical
development. The discovery and history of formulas are, there-
fore, made the frequent theme of class-room conversation.
30
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL SCIENCE.
In the Department of Natural Science, instruction is given
mainly b}~ lectures. Zoology and Physiology are studied b}T the
Senior Class during the first term. An outline of the general
principles of Zoology, embracing the characteristics and methods
of classification of the Animal Kingdom, is followed by a more
special study of Human Plrysiology and Anatomy, with constant
reference to the structure and functions of the inferior animals,
seeking thus, b}~ making it a stud}' of comparisons and analogies,
to develope the existence of a comprehensive plan in organic
nature. Constant attention is given, in this department, to the
principles of Hygiene.
During the third term, the Senior Class receive a course of daily
lectures on Geology, illustrated by the extensive Lithological,
Mineralogical and Palaeontological Collections of the Cabinet,
representing all the explored portions of the earth's crust.
DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY.
During the first term, a course of lectures is given on Chemical
Physics to the Junior Class, followed, during the second term, b}^ a
course of daily lectures on General Chemistry. The properties of
the elementary bodies, and their more important combinations, are
fully illustrated by experiments in the lecture room. Special
attention is given to the economic and industrial applications of
Chemical Science. Frequent opportunities are afforded for visiting
the various manufacturing establishments of the city, in which
Chemical processes are practically applied.
To supplement the instruction given to undergraduates in
General Chemistiy, a Laborator}^ has been provided and furnished
with the requisite apparatus, for the use of those who may wish to
pursue a more extended course of theoretical and practical Chem-
31
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
istiy, by conducting their own experiments and investigations,
under the direction of the professor. This Laboratory has recently
been enlarged and re-fitted, to meet the increasing demands
upon it.
Special students are admitted to the Laboratory for instruc-
tion in the theory and practice of Chemical Analysis, qualitative
and quantitative ; the application of Chemistry to Agriculture,
Pharmacy, the Mechanic Arts, etc. For further particulars
respecting this department, application may be made to the
Professor of Chemistry.
MORAL AND RELIGIOUS CULTURE.
It is the aim of the Faculty, in connection with the discipline of
the intellect, to inculcate a pure morality, and those truths and
duties concerning which all Christians are agreed. The public
duties of each day are opened at 9 o'clock a. m., with reading of
the Scriptures, singing and prayer, in the University Chapel.
The students are required to attend, unless specially excused
hy the Faculty.
In the Greek Department there is a weekly recitation in the
Creek New Testament.
Weekly pi^er meetings are held under the auspices of the
Young Men's Christian Association, in a room, centrally situated,
which the Trustees have provided for that purpose. Prayer
meetings are also held by each class, at the close of the
Saturday morning recitation.
Parents and guardians are requested to designate places of
worship, at which their sons, or wards, are expected to attend
regularly on the Sabbath.

©IP 'Cabinet^ mi Wibrarg.
GEOLOGY AND MINERALOGY.
These Cabinets, containing over 40.000 carefully selected speci-
mens, are an enc3rclop3edia of the sciences which they illustrate.
They were collected by Professor Ward, during ten years of
extensive foreign travel, and during many careful visits to a large
number of the most fruitful American localities. Having been
compiled, from the first, upon a plan which contemplated the most
complete illustration of ever}- point in these two departments of
inorganic nature, it is believed that they offer opportunities to
students of these sciences, unsurpassed in this countr}T.
The Cabinet of Geology commences with a collection of over
3.000 rocks, arranged in orders and families, in explanation of the
science of Lithology. Every rock species, as recognized by the
latest authors, is contained in this series ; and all points of interest
in technical, or economic, Geology are amply illustrated.
Another series of rocks illustrates the several Geologic
formations. Other series are Geographic in their character, and
show the student the mineral composition of some typical
Geographic region.
The Lithologic section of the cabinet also contains a valuable
series of rocks, collected b}T Prof. James Orton— now of Vassar
College — illustrative of the Geology of the Andes.
The collections of fossils are from the standard localities in
Europe and America, and represent the animal and vegetable life

which covered the surface of the earth during each of the great
Geologic periods.
A prominent feature of the Cabinet consists in its plaster
copies, perfect in form and dimensions, of all the well known
genera of fossil quadrupeds.
A section of the Geologic Cabinet embraces a series of models,
maps, sections, ideal landscapes, and cuts of fossils, intended to
illustrate the lectures which are given upon these subjects.
The Cabinet of Minerals is equally rich and comprehensive. It
begins with several extensive series of specimens intended to
illustrate the subject of Crystallography and the physical proper-
ties of minerals ; and contains about 5.000 choice specimens,
representing four-fifths of all the species known.
CABINET OF ARCHAEOLOGY.
The foundation has been laid for a Cabinet of Archaeology
b}~ the purchase of a small, but well-authenticated, collection of
flint and bronze implements from the drift region of Abbeville
and St. Acheul, in France. To this cabinet some specimens of
the stone implements of the American Indians have been added :
and it has also been enriched by a very choice collection of stone
implements from the vicinity of Copenhagen — the genuineness of
which is attested by the most eminent Danish archaeologists.
During the past 3Tear, the value of this Cabinet has been
enhanced b}' the addition of numerous specimens of pottery
from the tombs of the Incas.
LIBRARY.
The Library of the University is open daily, from 8 to 9 a. m.,
and on Saturday, from 10 : 15 to 12 a. m., for consultation and for
34
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
the drawing of books. All the students have access to the Library,
and are aided in consulting it by the Librarian and other members
of the Faculty. The Library contains 12.000 carefully selected
volumes, and especial pains is taken to make its contents
practically available by card-catalogues and indexes of periodical
and miscellaneous literature — all of which are brought down to
date, and accessible to every student.
The Library of the Rochester Theological Seminary is freely
accessible to students of the University.
THE RATHBONE LIBRARY FUND.
the gift of Gen. John F. Rathbone, of Albany, amounts to twenty-
five thousand dollars, and will, it is expected, be largely increased
on the completion of the Sibley Library Building. In the
purchase of books, preference is given to those works which
are demanded lyy the officers and students for the successful
prosecution of their inquiries in the various departments of
studv.
RECITATIONS AND EXAMINATIONS.
Recitations are held from 9:15 to 12:15 a.m. — each class
having three daily exercises of one hour. The number, or length,
of these exercises ma}' be increased at the discretion of the Faculty.
On Saturday, the classes attend in the lecture-room but one hour ;
and that, rather for instruction than for recitation.
Examinations are conducted by a combination of written and
oral exercises ; and in the presence of a Committee of the Faculty.
Students pursuing an Eclectic Course are required to pass the
35
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
examinations of the departments with which they connect them-
selves. No student is admitted to examination whose absences,
during the term, exceed twenty per cent, of the exercises of the
department in which he presents himself for examination.
Examinations are held, on each study, at the close of the term
during which it has been pursued. Examinations for delinquent
students are held on the third Saturday after the beginning, and
the third Saturday before the end, of each term.
PUBLIC EXERCISES.
1. Prize Declamations by the Sophomore Class, on the Monday
evening preceding Commencement.
2. Commencement, on the Wednesday preceding the Fourth
of July.
EXPENSES
The University has no dormitories, conforming, in this respect,
to the German, rather than the English model. Those who send
their sons, or wards, to the University, are recommended to
secure for them, so far as practicable, the influence of a Christian
home. Unfurnished rooms, Avhich afford suitable accommodations
for two students, can, however, be secured for $1.00 per week.
The average price paid for a furnished room, suitable for two
students, is about $2.00 per week. Boarding can be obtained in
private families for from $3.50 to $5.00 per week. The Janitor
36
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
of the University will furnish its patrons with all necessaiy
information respecting rooms and boarding.
Tuition, per term, including incidentals, $25.00.
The rules established by the Trustees, with reference to the
payment of tuition, require the settlement of all bills at the beginning
of each term; that students in the Eclectic course pay full tuition ;
and that orders for tuition on scholarships be presented as soon as
received. No deduction is made for absence.
A large number of students find profitable employment in the
city, in teaching private pupils and classes, and in various other
occupations — thus enabling them to provide, in considerable part,
for the expenses of their education. Students who have practical
acquaintance with any of the useful arts, are able to procure
constant and remunerative emploA^ment in the city.
Indigent students for the ministry, regularly approved by
churches, receive assistance from the New York Baptist Union
for Ministerial Education, and, under certain conditions, free
tuition from the University, which has set apart forty scholarships
for this purpose.
Other indigent students, of good character, are occasionally
assisted from funds at the disposal of the President.
Parents and guardians are earnestly requested to exercise a
careful supervision over their sons, or wards, and to discriminate
between necessaiy and unnecessary expenses. Experience proves
that nothing has a more unfavorable influence upon a student's
conduct and habits of study, than the unrestrained use of money.

PRIZES, EXTRA STUDIES, ETC,
THE DAVIS PRIZE MEDALS.
The sum of $1,000 has been given to the University
by the Hon. Isaac Davis, LL. D., of Worcester, Mass., the
annual income of which is, by the direction of the donor, to be
expended in purchasing two gold medals of unequal value, to be
given to the two members of the graduating class whose orations,
on Commencement Day, shall exhibit, respectiveh', the first and
second grades of excellence in thought, composition and delivery
combined.
THE STODDARD PRIZE MEDAL.
Professor John F. Stoddard — himself a distinguished Mathe-
matical instructor — has given to the University the endowment for
a gold medal of the value of one hundred dollars, which is to be
awarded to the student in each graduating class, (having been
three years a member of the University, and having maintained a
good standing in all the studies of the curriculum,) who shall,
immediately previous to graduation, have passed the best examina-
tion on the Mathematical studies of the entire course, and also on
some special topic to be assigned by the Faculty — provided that
such examination shall have attained to a certain absolute value.
The special topic on which the members of the present Senior
Class will be examined, is : The Theory and Uses op the
Pendulum.

THE DAVIS SCHOLARSHIP.
A scholarship, yielding seventy dollars a year, for the benefit of
some indigent student, has been founded by the Hon. Isaac Davis,
LL. D. The income of this scholarship is now available under
certain conditions, affecting character and standing, prescribed
by the founder.
THE SHELDON SCHOLARSHIP.
B}' the liberality of Abraham Sheldon, Esq., of Adams Centre,
free tuition has been provided forever for some student, who shall
be approved by the Faculty as especially worthy of assistance.
THE JOHNSON SCHOLARSHIP.
A similar scholarship has recently been established by the
children of the late Elias Johnson, Esq., of Troy.
THE CITY SCHOLARSHIPS.
In recognition of the interest taken b}^ the citizens of Rochester
in the establishment of the University, twelve scholarships, which
entitle their holders to free tuition, have been granted to the City
of Rochester by the Board of Trustees. These scholarships, to
the number of three in each class, are awarded as prizes for
excellence in the studies of the Rochester City Schools,
preparatory to college.
SENIOR PRIZE ESSAY.
A prize will be given to the member of each Senior Class, of
approved scholarship, who shall, on the first Monday in the third
term, present the best essay upon a subject selected b}- the Facultj^.
The subject for the present }Tear is : Wordsworth's Place in
Literature.
30
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
POST GRADUATE SCHOLARSHIPS.
During the past }'ear, the University has received from Isaac
Sherman, Esq., of New York, the sum of $5,000, the interest
of which is to be applied to the support of some member of each
graduating class (to be selected by competitive examination)
while engaged in post-graduate studies, under the supervision of
the Faculty, in the Department of Political Econonry. More

Three courses of study are open to the members of the
University :
I. The Classical Course, extending through four years ; at
the expiration of which time, those who have satisfactorily met
the requirements of the Faculty are admitted to the degree of
Bachelor of Arts.
II. The Scientific Course, extending through four years —
requiring no Greek, and only so much of Latin as is essential
to the successful prosecution of the Modern Languages and the
mastery of Scientific Terminology. In the place of Greek and
Latin, a more extended course of study is prescribed in Physical
Science, Mathematics, History, and the Modern Languages.
Those who satisfactorily complete this course, are admitted to the
degree of Bachelor of Science.
III. The Eclectic Course, designed for students who may
desire to receive instruction in particular departments, without
becoming candidates for degrees. Such students are admitted,
provided they have the requisite preparation for the studies of
those departments and become subject to the laws of the
University. This arrangement is intended to meet the wants of
those whose age, or circumstances, ma}r prevent them from
pursuing either of the regular courses, but who are desirous of
obtaining the liberal culture which the studies of a portion of the
course will give them. Special care is taken to give such pupils
the instruction which the}' require.
B 17
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION.
Candidates for admission to the University are expected to
furnish satisfactory testimonials respecting character : and — if
from other colleges — certificates of regular dismission.
No person will be admitted to the Freshman Class who has not
completed his fourteenth year ; or to an advanced standing,
without a corresponding advance in age.
The Monday and Tuesday before Commencement and the
Wednesda}" before the opening of the following term, are the
regular times for examining candidates. Examinations roay take
place at other times at the discretion of the Facult}^.
The requirements for admission are as follows :
FOR THE CLASSICAL COURSE.
English Grammar and Composition ; Colton's Common School
Geography ; Swinton's Condensed Histoiy of the United States ;
Robinson's Arithmetic; Robinson's University Algebra — to
Quadratic Equations ; Robinson's Geometiy — six books ;
Harkness's, or Allen and Greenough's, Latin Grammar ; Four
books of Caesar's Commentaries ; Four Orations of Cicero — of
which one shall be that for the Poet Archias, and one, that for
the Manilian Law ; Six books of Virgil's iEneid ; and 39 sections
of Arnold's Latin Prose Composition ; Hadley's, or Crosb37's,
Greek Grammar ; Three books of Xenophon's Anabasis, and one
book of Homer's Iliad.
18
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
Notice is given that, after the present year, applicants for
admission to the Universit}*, will be examined in Prof. Gilmore's
" Art of Expression."
FOR THE SCIENTIFIC COURSE.
The same as for the Classical Course, with the exception of the
requirements in Greek.
FOR THE ECLECTIC COURSE.
Sufficient preparation to profit by the instruction given to any
existing class.
A fair equivalent for the above requirements will, of course, be
accepted, but candidates for admission are advised to conform,
literally, to the requirements of the catalogue. Upon their exam-
ination for entrance, and in their subsequent instruction, it will be
taken for granted that they have done so.
Those who wish to pursue studies in the city or vicinity,
preparator}7 to admission to the Universit}*, will find ample
facilities for doing so, under the advice and direction of the
Faculty.
An}r student who ma}* be admitted to the University under
conditions; as, also, any student who, after admission, may have
shown himself deficient in any department of stud}*, will be
required to make up his deficiencies under a private tutor, who
shall be selected by the Faculty. All existing deficiencies of
this nature will be noted in the catalogue.

UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.

■V-
mhw 0ff the ^wrricitlttitk
One who desires to understand the work which the University
attempts to perform, may be referred to the tabular statement,
already given, of the courses of study which are prescribed for
students. It seems appropriate, however, that special attention
be called to some features in the several departments of instruction.
THE DEPARTMENT OF METAPHYSICS.
Intellectual and Moral Philosophy are taught mainly by lectures.
Propositions, embodying an outline of these subjects, with a
condensed discussion of each, are dictated to the class. Copious
illustrations of the topics are then given-, with full opportunities
for question and discussion on the part of the class, until the
doctrine set forth is completely understood. The design of the
course is to fix convictions in the student's mind regarding the
certainty, and necessary limits, of human knowledge ; and show
that man has a moral and intellectual constitution, existing, in the
germ, before the processes of thought and action begin.
In furtherance of these objects, recourse is constantly had to the
history of thought on the topics discussed, with a view to set forth
the gradual progress in this direction toward definite and scien-
tific conceptions of man's nature. Care is taken to put over
against each truth taught, its antagonistic error ; and also to
select illustrations of these subjects from common life, so that the
student, in acquiring a knowledge of the mental and moral consti-
tution of man, shall be, at the same time, gaining that practical
27
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
knowledge of men which shall conduce to his success in the
business, or profession, which he proposes to enter.
THE CLASSICAL DEPARTMENT
aims, by the careful reading of the Greek and Latin classics, and
by assiduous practice in writing Greek and Latin prose, to give
the student such familiarity with the Classical tongues, as shall
unlock to him the treasure-house of ancient thought and feeling ;
and, at the same time, fit him to acquire a more complete mastery
of those modern languages which are so largely derived from
Classical sources. The Classics are studied not in a spirit of blind
veneration for antiquity ; but as illustrating the universal laws of
language, as presenting the most perfect specimens of literary
composition, and as laying open the sources from which have
been derived invaluable elements in modern civilization. Special
attention is given, on the one hand, to the historic development
and the most important speculative results of Greek Philosophy ;
and, on the other, to the growth, the general principles, and the
permanent influence of Roman Jurisprudence. The Classics are
further utilized by making them supplement other courses of study
— Longinus, Plato and Cicero being read in connection with
instruction in Rhetoric and Mental and Moral Philosophy.
THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY.
Although the Faculty of Instruction embraces no officer who is
distinctively charged with the care of this department, an ample
course of historical studies is provided for the student. Instruction
is given in Greek and Roman Histoiy in connection with the
Classical Department. Mediaeval History is taught in weekly
lectures which cover three entire terms. The stmly of the English
Language and Literature is necessarily approached from an Ethno-
logic and Historic point of view. In every department of instruc-
28
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
tion, indeed, especial attention is given to the origin and develop-
ment of the science taught : so that the methods of Historic
investigation are constantly applied and exemplified. During the
Senior year, an entire term is devoted to the study of History —
lectures being given on Plrysical Geograplry, Ethnolog}^, and on a
series of fundamental topics which include an outline survey of
the forces, moral and physical, that have resulted in modern
civilization, and in the formation of the state S3~stems of Europe
and America. Another term is divided between Political Economy
and the Constitutional Law of England and the United States.
THE DEPARTMENT OF RHETORIC
is regarded as an organic whole whose reciprocally dependent
parts are :
1. The Laws of Thought, or Logic.
2. The Laws of Expression, or, in the abstract, Rhetoric; in
the concrete, Literature — both, of course, presupposing, for the
English student, a minute and thorough acquaintance with the
English Language.
3. The Laws of Utterance, or Elocution.
In accordance with this conspectus, the student is taught, from
the very outset of his course, to analyze his mental processes
and adapt his words to his thoughts ; his tones and gestures to his
words. Particular attention is paid to the study of the English
Language in its origin and development, and in its use by such
writers as Chaucer, Shakspere, Bacon and Milton — whose works
are studied with the same care as those of Horace, Sophocles,
Plato and Homer.
In connection with this department, orations are delivered
before the University, by students in the third term of the Junior,
29 .
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
and the first and second terms of the Senior year — each student
being required to prepare and deliver at least one oration in each
term.
During the Freshman }Tear, there is a regular weekly exercise
in Phonetic Analysis and Elocution. Members of the Junior
and Sophomore classes are required to present original essaj-s,
or oral dissertations, twice, at least, in each term. These essays
are freely used for class-room illustration of Rhetorical excel-
lences and defects.
DEPARTMENT OF MODERN LANGUAGES.
This department embraces a course of at least two terms in
French, and two in German, for every student who is a candidate
for a degree.
While the philological study of these languages is held con-
stantly in mind, such colloquial drill is given as may prepare the
student for using them in the business of life.
THE DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS.
During the first two }rears of the regular course, the classes
have a continuous drill in Pure Mathematics, beginning with the
generalizations of higher Algebra, and closing with the Calculus.
Then follow Mathematics as applied to Natural Philosoplry and
Astronomy. While the disciplinaiy exercises of the student are
necessarily abstract, it is the design of the officers in charge of
this department to show, by lectures and illustrations, that the
formulas of Mathematics are the keys of natural phenomena, and
that they underlie the practical arts of life. It is further believed
that Mathematics, like Politics, are best studied in their historical
development. The discovery and histoiy of formulas are, there-
fore, made the frequent theme of class-room conversation.
80
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL SCIENCE. I
In the Department of Natural Science, instruction is given
mainly by lectures. Zoology and Physiology are studied by the
Senior Class during the first term. An outline of the general
principles of Zoology, embracing the characteristics and methods
of classification of the Animal Kingdom, is followed by a more
special study of Human Physiolog}" and Anatomy, with constant
reference to the structure and functions of the inferior animals,
seeking thus, by making it a stud}T of comparisons and analogies,
to develope the existence of a comprehensive plan in organic
nature. Constant attention is given, in this department, to the
principles of Hygiene.
During the third term, the Senior Class receive a course of dairy
lectures on Geology, illustrated by the extensive Lithological,
Mineralogical and Palasontological Collections of the Cabinet,
representing all the explored portions of the earth's crust.
DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY.
During the first term, a course of lectures is given on Chemical
Physics to the Junior Class, followed, during the second term, by a
course of daily lectures on General Chemistry. The properties of
the elementary bodies, and their more important combinations, are
fully illustrated by experiments in the lecture room. Special
attention is given to the economic and industrial applications of
Chemical Science. Frequent opportunities are afforded for visiting
the various manufacturing establishments of the cit}r, in which
Chemical processes are practically applied.
To supplement the instruction given to undergraduates in
General Chemistry, a Laborator}T has been provided and furnished
with the requisite apparatus, for the use of those who may wish to
pursue a more extended course of theoretical and practical Chem-
31
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
istiy, by conducting their own experiments and investigations,
under the direction of the professor. This Laboratory has recently
been enlarged and re-fitted, to meet the increasing demands
upon it.
Special students are admitted to the Laboratory for instruc-
tion in the theory and practice of Chemical Analysis, qualitative
and quantitative ; the application of Chemistiy to Agriculture,
Pharmacy, the Mechanic Arts, etc. For further particulars
respecting this department, application may be made to the
Professor of Chemistiy.
MORAL AND RELIGIOUS CULTURE.
It is the aim of the Faculty, in connection with the discipline of
the intellect, to inculcate a pure morality, and those truths and
duties concerning which all Christians are agreed. The public
duties of each da}' are opened at 9 o'clock a. m., with reading of
the Scriptures, singing and prayer, in the University Chapel.
The students are required to attend, unless specially excused
by the Faculty.
In the Greek Department there is a weekly recitation in the
Greek New Testament.
Weekly prayer meetings are held under the auspices of the
Young Men's Christian Association, in a room, centrally situated,
which the Trustees have provided for that purpose. Prayer
meetings are also held by each class, at the close of the
Saturday morning recitation.
Parents and guardians are requested to designate places of
worship, at which their sons, or wards, are expected to attend
regularly on the Sabbath.

GEOLOGY AND MINERALOGY.
These Cabinets, containing over 40.000 carefully selected speci-
mens, are an encjxlopsedia of the sciences which they illustrate.
They were collected by Professor Ward, during ten years of
extensive foreign travel, and during many careful visits to a large
number of the most fruitful American localities. Having been
compiled, from the first, upon a plan which contemplated the most
complete illustration of every point in these two. departments of
inorganic nature, it is believed that they offer opportunities to
students of these sciences, unsurpassed in this country.
The Cabinet of Geology commences with a- collection of over
3.000 rocks, arranged in orders and families, in explanation of the
science of Lithology. Every rock species, as recognized by the
latest authors, is contained in this series ; and all points of interest
in technical, or economic, Geolog}^ are amply illustrated.
Another series of rocks illustrates the several Geologic
formations. Other series are Geographic in their character, and
show the student the mineral composition of some t}*pical
Geographic region.
The Lithologic section of the cabinet also contains a valuable
series of rocks, collected b%y Prof. James Orton — now of Vassal*
College — illustrative of the Geology of the Andes.
The collections of fossils are from the standard localities in
Europe and America, and represent the animal and vegetable life

UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
which covered the surface of the earth during each of the great
Geologic periods.
A prominent feature of the Cabinet consists in its plaster
copies, perfect in form and dimensions, of all the well known
genera of fossil quadrupeds.
A section of the Geologic Cabinet embraces a series of models,
maps, sections, ideal landscapes, and cuts of fossils, intended to
illustrate the lectures which are given upon these subjects.
The Cabinet of Minerals is equally rich and comprehensive. It
begins with several extensive series of specimens intended to
illustrate the subject of Crystallography and the physical proper-
ties of minerals ; and contains about 5.000 choice specimens,
representing four-fifths of all the species known.
CABINET OF ARCHEOLOGY.
The foundation has been .laid for a Cabinet of Archaeology
by the purchase of a small, but well-authenticated, collection of
flint and bronze implements from the drift region of Abbeville
and St. Acheul, in France. To this cabinet some specimens of
the stone implements of the American Indians have been added ;
and it has also been enriched by a very choice collection of stone
implements from the vicinity of Copenhagen — the genuineness of
which is attested by the most eminent Danish archaeologists.
During the past year, the value of this Cabinet has been
enhanced by the addition of numerous specimens of pottery
from the tombs of the Incas.
LIBRARY.
The Library of the University is open daily, from 8 to 9 a. m.,
and on Saturday, from 10 : 15 to 12 a. m., for consultation and for
34
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
the drawing of books. All the students have access to the Library,
and are aided in consulting it by the Librarian and other members
of the Faculty. The Library contains 12.000 carefully selected
volumes, and especial pains is taken to make its contents
practically available by card-catalogues and indexes of periodical
and miscellaneous literature — all of which are brought down to
date, and accessible to ever}' student.
The Library of the Rochester Theological Seminary is freely
accessible to students of the University.
THE RATHBONE LIBRARY FUND,
the gift of Gen. John F. Rathbone, of Albany, amounts to twenty-
five thousand dollars, and will, it is expected, be largely increased
on the completion of the Sibley Library Building. In the
purchase of books, preference is given to those works which
are demanded b}T the officers and students for the successful
prosecution of their inquiries in the various departments of
studv.
RECITATIONS AND EXAMINATIONS.
Recitations are held from 9:15 to 12:15 a.m. — each class
having three daily exercises of one hour. The number, or length,
of these exercises maybe increased at the discretion of the Faculty.
On Saturdaj', the classes attend in the lecture-room but one hour ;
and that, rather for instruction than for recitation.
Examinations are conducted by a combination of written and
oral exercises ; and in the presence of a Committee of the Facult}'.
Students pursuing an Eclectic Course are required to pass the
35
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
examinations of the departments with which they connect them-
selves. No student is admitted to examination whose absences,
during the term, exceed twenty per cent, of the exercises of the
department in which he presents himself for examination.
Examinations are held, on each study, at the close of the term
during which it has been pursued. Examinations for delinquent
students are held on the third Saturday after the beginning, and
the third Saturday before the end, of each term.
PUBLIC EXERCISES.
1. Prize Declamations by the Sophomore Class, on the Monday
evening preceding Commencement.
2. Commencement, on the Wednesday preceding the Fourth
of July.
EXPENSES
The University has no dormitories, conforming, in fliis respect,
to the German, rather than the English model. Those who send
their sons, or wards, to the University, are recommended to
secure for them, so far as practicable, the influence of a Christian
home. Unfurnished rooms, which afford suitable accommodations
for two students, can, however, be secured for $1.00 per week.
The average price paid for a furnished room, suitable for two
students, is about $2.00 per week. Boarding can be obtained in
private families for from $3.50 to $5.00 per week. The Janitor
36
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.
of the University will furnish its patrons with all necessary
information respecting rooms and boarding.
Tuition, per term, including incidentals, $25.00.
The rules established by the Trustees, with reference to the
payment of tuition, require the settlement of all bills at the beginning
of each term; that students in the Eclectic course pay full tuition ;
and that orders for tuition on scholarships be presented as soon as
received. No deduction is made for absence.
A large number of students find profitable employment in the
chVy, in teaching private pupils and classes, and in various other
occupations — thus enabling them to provide, in considerable part,
for the expenses of their education. Students who have practical
acquaintance with any of the useful arts, are able to procure
constant and remunerative employment in the city.
Indigent students for the ministry, regularly approved by '
chui'ches, receive assistance from the Neiv York Baj)tist Union
for Ministerial Education, and, under certain conditions, free
tuition from the University, which has set apart forty scholarships
for this purpose.
Other indigent students, of good character, are occasionally
assisted from funds at the disposal of the President.
Parents and guardians are earnestly requested to exercise a
careful supervision over their sons, or wards, and to discriminate
between necessary and unnecessaiy expenses. Experience proves
that nothing has a more unfavorable influence upon a student's
conduct and habits of study, than the unrestrained use of money.
